Auras of Power question
I was looking over this article in an attempt to figure out how to model another power, when I noticed this modifier - Reduced Duration, 1/60, Only after the target leaves the area, -30%. Does this limitation exist in a printed book, because I can't seem to find it.

Re: Auras of Power question
I do not have that issue, so I'm not sure what it does or says, but it's probably the same modifier as the one on Psionic Powers p.21, although the cost for 1/60 should be -35% not -30%.

Re: Auras of Power question
I think the +5% adjustment is for "only after target leaves the Area"

Ah I see, It's late, I haven't slept. I tend to overlook the obvious in this state. :-) Nice work.

At that point "Once successfully applied, stays on until you leave the aura" is more like a convenient bookkeeping simplification.

The +5% is there to reduce the number of rolls, nothing else. It also forces the group to remain close to the aura user, to remain in the area, or the aura user to invest in greater area effect, via higher levels of the Aura of Power modifier. One costs tactical flexibility, the other costs points. |
